"And that's how this beautiful city got its name! It was spoken to us by our god itself!" The princess closed the book with her hooves. How unwise- C/N would always use magic if they had an infinite supply of it. Not like anyone has asked for their opinion on the subject. Nobody ever did.

A little kid with a fish-head raised a fin. "But, wasn't that like, just a manner of speech-"

"Look at the time! I better go raise the moon before my ex-wife starts yelling at me again!" She got up, leaving behind atleast twelve confused children. She then locked eyes with One Direction. How the hell did she do that.

"One... One Direction!?" She put a hoof over her mouth. "I-"

"Miss Lady Excellence Princess Twilight Sparkle Of The Crescent Moon Of Friendship and Backup Vocalist Of NCT 227!" One Direction bowed. Everyone else followed their lead. "We... Come asking for any intel on our... Situtation."

"Oh my. That's a... Really intricate binding spell! Can humans even cast spells like that?!"

"A human? Do you have any idea who it was?!"

"Oh, haha, I only know what Jaehyun told me. He said he... Hired a human mage to curse you all, and to watch out in case you ever... Umm, anyways, I don't really have any clear pointers, but..."

"But?" Their eyes sparkled in the twilight.

"As the new Princess of the Crescent Moon!" She started.

"You've been that for 2000 years???" Joris blinked.

"Well!! It takes a while to get used to!!" She cleared her throat. "I monitor everyone's dreams. So I have access to your memories."

"Ah, are you going to fish our memories out and let us watch them?! If so, could you please look at October 16th 2017-" Devin began.

"That's way too specific... We'd need a memory-charged stone for that. And the closest one is in the Florida Library."

You'd assume there'd be more than one library in Florida. No

"Great day to live in Not Florida, huh, Devin?" C/N elbowed him in the shoulder. It hurt. He whined again.

"But, good old Nowhere has one of my favorite rocks! Haha! In the Dream Research Centre. It projects one's worst memory!"

"How's looking at that going to help us?" Breedy asked.

"One Direction, as a hivemind, has been alive for 12 years. Therefore, their memories are still fresh, and..."

"The worst one must be when we first fused! We could learn so much about the wizard!"

"Exactly! Yes! And I'd love to help you all!"

"Great! That's really great! Lead the way!"

The group walked behind the princess, through the bustling city. They had to stop and buy Devin a pigeon blanket because he kept crying every time he saw a kid wearing one. After half an hour, they made it.

"Wait, why didn't you just teleport us there??" Breedy asked.

The princess seemed to be deep in throught. "Being alive for 5000 years changes you."

"But you've-"

"So great to be here! Everyone, grab a pair of goggles at the entrance. This is gonna be fun......"

They did as they were told, and walked inside of the building, sitting in a circle in front of a huge purple crystal. It looked ugly.

"Alright! I'm only going to explain this once." And then C/N zoned out, staring into the crystal, so they didn't hear anything.
